Restaurants
Menifee, CA
Here is a Hamburger Joint, ah Restaurant, the Red Robin has the greatest hamburgers I have ever eaten.  They serve other items but they are famous for their large and delicious hamburgers.  When Lindsey our waitress introduce herself with a friendly smile we told her this was the first time we had visited a Red Robin, she took our order, I order the Bacon Avocado with mayo, now let me tell you, after ordering Mike showed me the calorie count  Holy Cow it was enough calories for two days of eating.   But who's counting if it is GOOD!!  The General Manger come over introduced himself, Dan Anderson, and after hearing this was our first time, me telling him if it is good I would add him to this page.  He went to the cook and made sure we had a great hamburger, I am sure they would be good even if he didn't, and he served it, now how many times does have you seen a manger who really cares, he is on the top of my list.  They were so great and large with steak fries (all you can eat). You won't be eating the steak fries as the burger filled you and you will want to finish it as it was so GOOOOD .  I could not finish mine, so go to a Red Robin close to you, and see what I am talking about.  They are at 30142 Haun RD in Menifee and there is one in Palm Springs at La Quinta.
In Tombstone try the O.K. Cafe Buffalo Burger, on Hwy 80 south to 10th right towards the old Tombstone Courthouse.
La Mesilla, NM has one of the oldest restaurants in NM it is called La Posta,  the last time Mike and I ate there was in 1983, the food is still great.  And the town is wonderful to walk around after having your meal.  Billy the Kid gift shop was once a bar, and it was also the government building and used as the state capital of NM and AZ.  You will love this restaurant and the walk around. The Town of La Conner, WA offers many restaurants to suit the fish lover in you as well as the normal hamburgers, steaks, etc.  We found "The Pub" to be the best in food and price.  Fran while visiting loved the Clam Strips and I love the tempura fish, the food was good and the scenery on the bay spectacular. The pub is the first building on the right of this pictures. In Friday Harbor we found the Restaurant (which we had gone to the last time Mike & I where on Friday Harbor, it still had great food and we sat on the patio watching all of the boats. In Blain, WA right across from the bay, we went to the Beach House, were we were able to see the bay and have lunch, the food was not that good, service was fair, but the view was great prices were high.
I should have started this page years ago, so from now on will take my camera and if the Restaurant is good will put it on the web so you too can have a chance to enjoy some good cooking.
Bar Harbor, WA on Widbey Island has a great Mexican Restaurant called El' Pueblo,  to get there is sort of easy, you follow the highway 20 which leads from Deception Pass downtown through Widbey Island.  Almost at the end of the highway, there is a Safeway on the right, go past it and the light, the next light make a left, go a couple of blocks and you will see a Wells Fargo bank on your right, make the turn right there, then immediately turn right and the restaurant is on your left across from the bay.  It didn't look like it was even open.  We parked in the back and the door was open went upstairs to a great gal who waited on us and we order, the food came quick and the food was wonderful, on top of this it was not that expensive.  So go and look at the bay and have great food.
Sandpoint, WA    Spuds Rotisserie & Grill 102 N. First Ave. 208-265-4311
A little restaurant that serves Idaho potato with anything and everything.  We stopped to  have lunch, Mike had the clam chowder and I had the American Potato,  (sour cream, green onions, and bacon) boy was it good, I know the calories are horrible but hey you only live once.
Hurricane, Ut
The Rusty Bucket in Hurricane, Ut is at 460 W State St Hurricane, UT 84737 (435) 635-2700
they opened around the 1st of April and the food is homemade, we ate there on May 1st had spaghetti and meatballs, I must admit it was almost as good as my homemade dish.  It was the first time I actually wanted too bring home the left over's. I know we will try this one again as the owner/manager Michele ,was very nice and made us feel at home.  I would rate this one as a 8, clean very well managed and the service was great along with the wonderful food, the only draw back was I wanted desert and they did not have the homemade pies ready yet !
	They have live entertainment on Friday and Saturday, for example there will be a dinner special of Prime Rib for $13.99 on May 1st 09, along with an Elvis impersonator.    Take a look at the rest of our trip to Utah
Washington the best Bread pudding in the USA Saginaw's is right down Main Street in Elma, Washington.  They make homemade bread pudding everyday and it is to die for.  We have bought several people here & each have said that when someone tells them a good restaurant they are disappointed but not this time.  You just have to go here for the Bread Pudding.
